Overview

• Israeli tanks opened fire on civilians gathered around a stranded aid truck in Khan Younis on June 17, killing at least 59 people and wounding more than 200, Gaza medics said.
• The Israel Defense Forces acknowledged troop fire in the area and announced an investigation, expressing regret for harm to uninvolved individuals.
• The attack occurred near a United Nations World Food Programme distribution point, not at a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
• Since late May, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that 397 Palestinians seeking food aid have been killed and over 3,000 wounded since deliveries resumed.
• The United Nations has denounced the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s operations as inadequate and dangerous, and residents worry their plight is being overshadowed by the Israel-Iran air war.
